Symmetric Renegotiation-Proof Climate Agreements
Abstract In this paper, we study the impacts and effects of the number of countries and green technology on climate agreements. In a repeated climate game framework, we focus on the symmetric and self-enforcing weakly renegotiation-proof equilibrium. The set of every country’s feasible abatements is bounded and independent of the number of signatory countries. We derive the maximal number of signatory countries that can reach a fully cooperative (most efficient) climate agreement. We also analyze the maximal equilibrium abatement level when there are too many countries to sustain the fully cooperative agreement. The maximal equilibrium abatement level changes non-monotonically in the number of the countries; it first increases and then decreases in the number of countries involved. Our findings demonstrate a trade-off between the breadth and the depth for international climate agreements.
